THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. DANA LaFRANCE, Appellant.

Defendant's only contention on this appeal is that the sentence of 2 to 6 years' imprisonment that he received upon his conviction is harsh and excessive. Defendant was allowed to plead guilty to one count of assault in the second degree in full satisfaction of a four-count indictment. Further, he pleaded guilty knowing that he would receive the sentence ultimately imposed, which is not the harshest possible. In light of these facts, and given defendant's criminal record, we find no basis to disturb the sentence imposed by County Court (see, People v Gonzalez, 178 A.D.2d 850, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 948; People v Palmer, 143 A.D.2d 469, lv denied 73 N.Y.2d 858).

Weiss, P.J., Mikoll, Yesawich Jr., Crew III and Casey, JJ., concur. Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
